Buddy Matthews comments on his desire to face Kazuchika Okad🍷a in Australia.
AEW Grand Slam 2025 will be held in Australia and one of AEW's top Australian stars is Buddy Mat💮thews. Matthews was recently asked about what his g🎀oals would be when it comes to the major show in his home country and stated that he would be open to fighting for the AEW Trios Titles alongside Brody King and Malakai Black or competing against Kazuchika Okada and Will Ospreay in singles action.
to explain why a match with Okada in his home countr💧y is particularly ap🦂pealing to him.
"So I feel like [a match for the Trios Titles] would be cool," he said. "Because I do believe that we are probably the best trio on the planet when it comes to that. Our win record says that too. But I feel like what we did with the Trios Titles, when we held them, was probably the most significant they were, and we tried to elevate it by doing the Open Houses and stuff. Like, we tried to put our own little flare on it. But then again, that would be cool to do here, but I feel like matches that people would want to see, and he may have a title then, who knows? I feel like me and Will is a match that people want to see.
"That would be cool," he continued. "But then you go, I think me and Okada here would be awesome. I wrestled him in New Japan. We were the peaks. He's Japan's guy, I was Australia's guy. So, like, let's do that. That would be cool. Okada vs. Buddy in Australia would be pretty cool on paper, absolutely."
